In this in-depth tutorial series, computer music guru Eli Krantzberg shows you how to get rocking with this innovative and expressive new guitar instrument from UJAM, Virtual Guitarist IRON! Eli starts off with a brief primer on power chords, then dives right into the GUI. Then he shows you how IRON translates notes and chords into two-note power chord voices. That leads into a demonstration of the Common Phrases that you can use to get creative with your guitar parts.

Eli continues by exploring the layout of the Common Phrases and Style Phrases sections and using them to record an original chord progression in real-time. Then he shows you the Performance Controls, which you can use to alter the rhythms and grooves generated by the Style Phrases.

The final three videos are all about tweaking the tone and workflow strategies. Eli teaches you how the Thrust and Drive controls interact with various pickup and amp settings, and then explores 3 different arranging and mixing workflows. Finally, Eli explains how Virtual Guitarist IRON stores Factory Data and Presets.
